Blank Screen #1334

Open JBaby9783 opened 1 month ago

JBaby9783 commented 1 month ago

What was the Problem?

This blankness has happened twice now on iOS 18. The white screenshot is from Sunday and I was AirPlaying to an HomePod mini. The black screen is now and I was AirPlaying to my Apple TV that has HomePods acting as the TV speakers. IMG_0347 IMG_0349

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Play audiobook for one hour or more. Turn on the phone. Go to the app and it will be blank.

What was Expected?

When I go back to ABS I should be see the app. There shouldn’t just be nothing.

Are you able to consistently reproduce this?

JBaby9783 commented 1 month ago

Yes! In fact I’ve come back here to give an update. I just finished a novella that didn’t take an hour read. I still had the blank screen when I came back to the app. I hadn’t been using my phone because I was eating so it’s not because of multitasking.

Do you think this is specific to AirPlay? I'm not as familiar with iOS as I am Android so I've never actually AirPlayed anything.

JBaby9783 commented 1 month ago

I'm not sure. I haven't tested to see if it blanks out while listening via AirPods. I normally only listen with earbuds when I'm away from home.

Just wanted to comment to say it does not seem specifically related to airplay. I have had it with bluetooth headphones today.

I think I have had it whilst listening to the book directly from the phone speaker, but I do that so rarely that I don't want to confidently say so.

This is not specific to airplay. I get this often... I just swtiched from an iPhone 12 pro to an iPhone 16.... that upgrade also included going from iOS 17 to iOS 18.

It was working fine on my iPhone 12 on iOS 17.x

I'm not sure on exact steps to reprodce tho.... at this point I just know:

I listen to ABS on my airpods. I frequently:

Occasionally, I'll re-open ABS by clicking on the app icon and it will open.... but is a completely black screen. One time it was black but I could see the play controls.

I'll force close the app and re-open and it works fine.

I am actually trying to put ABS on an Android 8.1.0 device, and it installs fine, but when I open the app all I see is a disconnected message on a white background and the ABS logo in the upper left - no menus, not buttons, no form fields, nothing.... it looks very much like this issues screenshot.

Here is what I see right after install:

Happened again this morning... I think these are the exact steps that occurred.

Went to bed last night... Played book listening on air pods. .. Opened up a game to play while listening... Opened ABS! Set chapter point and timer to 60 min... Locked phone and put on mag safe charger... Woke up this morning, unlocked phone and clocked on ABS icon. Black screen.

I listen to about 8-14 hours per day of podcasts and books with the iOS app. (Yes, for real).

I get this black screen a about twice a day.

My best attempt at memory here:

On the android device i have, the blank screen started with 0.9.71. Prior to that version, instead of everything being white I have a black background and a hamburger menu, though it will not open a la https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/1369
